Everyone has a story — something that makes them unique. Comedian D.C. Benny, who performs at the Fairfield Comedy Club on Saturday, Dec. 23, tells his like this:

“I’m a half-Jewish, half German-Catholic comedian, married to a black psychologist who looks Indian. I live in an old Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn now full of young hipsters, and everybody thinks I’m Puerto Rican, except for Puerto Ricans, who think I’m a cop.”

Has his eclectic background played into his comedy? Of course, it has; it informs his sense of humor. And when he performs Saturday, he will share some stories about his life.

“A lot of really, really funny things have happened to me in the 30 years I have been a comedian, and I have met a lot of characters,” he said via email, as he prepared for a stand-up tour in Israel. Benny said he’d never been there before, then confided, “I have only one thing on my mind: hummus.”

Discussing his style of comedy, Benny said, “I’m not a political comic, I’m a storyteller. I tell stories about traveling, working on crazy film sets, a vendetta I was in over a parking space with a crazy neighbor, a tour I did in China, my time selling real estate, an unfortunate run-in with a mime, working on a cruise ship and others.”

So, if you like funny yarns, you’ll love his show, the raconteur said. And if he runs out of tales — he won’t — just ask him to explain why he always has pieces left over when he tackles a DIY project, like putting furniture together, and what he does with them. Or his thoughts on fashion — the skinny jeans craze in particular. Not a fan.

Benny loves stories so much, he co-hosts the storytelling podcast “Tall But True,” with his friend, comedian Ben Bailey, of television’s “Cash Cab.” The podcast has attracted such guests as Ray Romano and Colin Quinn, among others.

“Artie Lange had one about his friend stealing a canoe by walking it out of a sporting goods store on his back. Gets away with it! Then gets busted the next day because he went back to steal the oars.”

A native of Washington, D.C., Benny has performed on television’s “Comedy Central Presents” and at clubs from Manhattan to Los Angeles. His personal essays and articles have been featured in such publications as New York Magazine and the New York Observer.

“I’m always working on projects,” he said. “I just recorded an album of funny stories with 800 Pound Gorilla Records at the Comedy Cellar’s Fat Black Pussycat Lounge, releasing in a few months.”

He and Bailey just shot a web series about two cops. Benny said he has some scripts “making the rounds.” Meanwhile, he’s working with his comedy storytelling-coaching clients, helping them hone their skills.

“I love my work, so I work really hard at it,” he said. “I love making people laugh.”
